Senator RiddIeberger Jailed.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 10 "A special
from Woodstock, ", says: Senator Rid
dleberger was ordered under arrest Friday
by Judge Newman and locked up in tn
county Jail for the night. His offense was
publicly ridiculing the rulings of the judge,
which had resulted in verdict against q
client and political friend of the senator.
The friends of the senator are threatening to
break into the Jail and release
him. There is great excitement
WINCHESTER, Va, Aug. ia dispatch
from Woodstock, Va, states that United
States Senator Riddleberger, who was Fri
day sentenced by Judge Newman Of the
county court to pay fine of S25 and be i'm
prisoned for ten days for contempt of court,
was released from Jail Friday night by mob.
The jailor made but little resistance.
WINCHESTER, Va, Aug. l5.-The excite
ment over the Imprisonment and subsequent
rescue of Senator Riddleberger has subsidized.
The court ad journed on Friday until Mon
day, and Monday morning the senator re-
turned to Jail Governor Fitzhugh Lee was
asked by correspondent what he thought OF
the Riddleberger incident II Decline" re-
piled the governor, to say anything about the
matter until have some official information
in regard to it," No doubt seems to be felt
among the Richmond lawyers about Judge
Newman's having full jurisdiction and au.
thority to commit the senator for contempt

tire which have been brought up from the
wreck. Among these are grouped the rela-
tives of the dead, seeking such personal eff
fects as may have been saved, and which
may help the coroner to make final identifi-
cation in some cases.
At IL o'clock the correspondent for the
United Press returned from the scene Of the
wreck. No more bodies had been recovered at
that hour, and Foreman Crawford expresses
the opinion that the roll of the instantly
killed is now complete. Efforts were made
TO find the head of Engineer McClintock, but
without success
The belief is gaining ground that the catas-
trophe was precipitated by confederates Of
thieves who were on the train, and who knew
that many of the passengers carried large
sums of money and valuable jewelry, but
there are no facts which point to a confrma-
ton Of this theory.
Important evidence was given by several
witnesses Friday afternoon showing that
there was light seen on the track in the
neighborhooi of the disaster for two hours
before the train was due. Other evidence
showed that there was no engine in sight at
that time, or any grass fires. This supports
the theory Of train wrecking.
Engineer Geo. Schurtz, of the T., p & W.,
says that Nathan Fisher and George Murphy,
of Peoria, told him that they were in the
fated train, in one Of the sleeping cars, and
were among the first TO reach the culvert
after the catastrophe. Both say they saw
five or six men run out of an adjacent corn
field to the wreck, and they are positive the
men were robbers. H. c. Taneyhill,
brakeman, says he saw several men robbing
valises, but was too busy looking after the
victims to interfere with them.
From the following summary the grand
total of victims Of the wreck will be seen:
Total number Of deaths up to Saturday, ac-
cording to official returns, IS; wounded seri-
ously and treated for wounds, 1873; wounded
slightly and gone home, $50; grand total Of
killed, wounded, and injured, 1885,
The debris of the wreck has all been burned
as there was nothing left Of value, and it was
cheaper to burn than to remove It. The
only remains found were three or four skulls
and one finger.

lips, and asked her how she felt A feeble
groan was the only answer, and the next In
slant she died. The man felt the form Of his
dead wife and child and cried out: my
God, there Is nothing more for me to live for
now" and, taking a pistol out of his pocket,
pulled the trigger. The bullet went surely
through his brain, and the three dead bodies
Of that little family are now lying side by
side In Chatsworth waiting to be identified
The most horrible death Of all was that OF
Eugene McClintock, engineer OF the second
engine of the double-head The first engine,
which Engineer Sunderland was driving,
passed over the burning bridge in safety, but
it was under its weight that the half con-
sumed bridge gave way, and the tender
dropped back into the dry slough. Suther-
lands engine kept the rails and ran ON in
safety, such was the awful speed of the UNI
fortunate train McCiintock's engine
plunged down into the black hole, and as the
tender mounted on top of the cab it took Nc
Clintock in the back of the neck and cut his
head clean Off his shoulders The trunk was
found under the engine, but the head could
not be discovered and the presumption is
that it was ground to atoms in the horrible
millstones of the engine and the tender.
McClintock was a man 80 years of age, res
ident of Peoria, where he has wife and fam
lily. He has been running on the Toledo,
Peoria & Western for something over twenty
years. Apologize, his fireman, by some
strange chance escaped without serious in
ries.
The most horrible feature of it all was the
robbery of the dead. Men who were sup
posed to be the most active in cutting away
the wreck to relieve the wounded were
really plundering the dead When daylight
came corpses were dragged out of the wreck
with tho pockets of their clothes turned in
side out or torn off, Watches and chains
were stolen and many corpses rided, so that
nothing was left by which they could be
identified
A noble girl named Fanny Brebner, of
Pennington, Ills, was one of the notable
heroines of the wreck She went through the
disaster unhurt and hour after hour from
that acted as nurse for the dying victims So
great were her services that physicians finally
placed under her exclusive charge two in.
jured boys from Peoria and a photographer
of Burlington, Iowa. They were all badly
hurt, and If they recover eventually they will
owe it almost wholly to her ministrations II
was she and a score of others like her who
redeemed confidence in human nature after
sight of the vandalism of the wreck.

THE wRECK-LooKING FROM THE WEST.
Chatsworth and on the heavy train with
its living freight sped through the
darkness Of tho night. Three miles
east of Chatsworth is little
slough, where the railroad track crosses dry
run about ten feet deep and fifteen wide.
Over this was stretched AN ordinary wooden
trestlo bridge, and as the excursion train
came laundering down on it, what was the
horror of the engineer on the front engine
when he saw that the bridge was afirel Right
up before his eyes leaped the bright flames,
and the next instant no was among them
There was no chance to stop. Had there been
warning, it would have taken half mile to
stop that onrushing mass of wood, iron, and
human lives, and the train was within 100
yards of the red-tongued messengers of death
before they flashed their fatal signals into
the engineers face But he passed ever in
safety, the first engine keeping the rails. As
it went over the bridge fell beneath it, and it
could only have been the terrific
speed of the train which saved the
lives or the engineer and his fireman. But
the next engine went down, and instantly the
deed of death was done. Car crashed into
car, coaches piled one on top of another, and
in the twinkling of an eye nearly 100 people
found Instant death and fifty more were SO
hurt they could not live. As for the
wounded, they were every where.
Only the sleeping-coaches escaped, and as
the startled and half-dressed passengers came
tumbling out of them they found such
scene of death as is rarely witnessed, and
such work to do that it seemed as If human
hands were utterly incapable. 1t lacked but

Mascot with liaison with a married woman
An attempt was made to wreck passen-

a light one, however, and got over the burn
ing structure in safety.
In Jersey City Sunday party of Ger
mans were shooting at a mark in cellar.
One of the bullets went through window
and hit an Irish lad named Murphy, causing
dangerous wound. Siegfried Schneider,
who saw the boy fall, rushed 90 his assist
ance, and was at once taken by mob of
lrishmen, who, supposing him to be the
reckless shooter, threw rope around his
neck and were about to hang him when the
police rescued him.

hurt men, women, and children, whose lives
but whose death in most horrible form was
certain IL the twisted wood of the broken
cars caught afire. And to fight the fire there
was not drop of water, and only. some fifty
able-bodied men who had still presence OF
mind and nerve enough to do their duty
The only light was the light of the burning
bridge, and with so much of its aid the fifty
men went to work to subdue it. For four
hours they fought like fiends, and for four
hours the victory hung i'm the balance.
Earth was the only weapon with which the
foe could be fought, and SO the attempt was
made to smother it out. There was no pick
or shovel to dig it up, no baskets or barrows
to carry it in, and so they desperately dug
their fingers down into the earth, which a
long drought had baked almost as hard as
stone, and heaped the precious handouts thus
hardly won upon the encroaching flames, and
with this earthwork, built handful by hand
full, kept back the foe.
But finally the victory was won, the fire
was put cut after four hours Of endeavor,
and as It's last sparks died away a light came
up In the east to take their place, and down
10 came upon scene of horror.
While the fight had been going on men had
been dying, and there were not SO many
wounded to take out Of the wreck as there
had been four hours before. But In the mean
time the country had been aroused. Help
had come from Chatsworth, Forest and Piper
City, and the dead were laid feverently
alongside Of each other ont In the corn-field.
There were ready hands 70 take them into
Chatzworth. while some Of the wounded were
carried TO Piper City.
